The Lobel rifle, the new arm with
which tho French infantry will be sup
piled before next spring is, according to
all accounts, a wonder, and several mod.
els Of the gun have been received here,
and excite great interest. The gun will
carry its bullet more than mile and a half,
and with more certain aim than has
been possible with ordinary rifles. The
bore of the gun is very small, and the
ball, which is of steel and sharply pointed
at one end, is said to revolye at a speed
Of !, 1000 revolutions per second. In the
tests made by the French Government
this bullet has penetrated brick wall
eight inches thick, at a distance Of 500
yards. II will go through any kind Of
armor which can be Worn by soldiers, and
at distance of more than mile will pass
through man as easily as at ten pacas.
The gun has no recoil under fire, and the
powder gives out no smoke whatever. IL
has been said that the powder used must
be type Of smokeless hunting powder al
ready in the Market but this isdenied by
the inventor, who says that lie uses an
entirely new compound. The Lebel gun
is repeater, and the cartridges are SO
small that each soldier carries eco rounds
Of ammunition, as against I15 arms,
formerly considered the maximum. The
French Government is now making these
guns at the rate Of 500 per day. and Is.
preparing to turn out double that number.

What a truly beautiful world we
live in Nature gives us grandeur Of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per-

disheartened, discouraged and worn
out with disease, when there is no oc-
casion for this feeling, as every suffer-

them free from disease, as when born.
